Part 1

Dear Journal,

Tonight I have hurt the one person who means more to me then anyone else. Although Max was the one who wanted us to take a step back, I now know how much he is hurting by this arrangement. I just wish he would not fear his feelings he has for me, or the danger it may cause me. I want to be with Max, but I need him to realize the choice of being together is mine too.

Liz put away her jounal and sat quietly on her bed. Her thoughts scanning what had occurred ealier in the evening.

It was now almost midnight and she couldn't shake the need to see Max. To tell him it was OK, to tell him she wasn't afraid of the danger, to tell him she would be there for him no matter what, or just to tell him how she felt about him.

Liz had made up her mind she was going to talk to Max tonight. What she had to say couldn't wait til tommorrow, she had to see him tonight. She quietly slipped out of her house and ran down the road toward the Evan's home, toward Max.

Liz was just outside the Evan's house when she finally stopped to catch her breath, not to mention her thoughts. she hesitated briefly. "I'll say what comes to my heart when I see him", Liz said this to herself, but outloud. This was what her grandmother's advice anyway - to follow her heart.

Liz walked around the house till she came to Max's bedroom window. Her heart was beating rapidly. She was unsure if it was racing from practically running all the way here or was it racing from the anxiety she was feeling about getting ready to lay all her feelings on the table with Max. Either way there was no turning back for Liz, she had to follow her heart and the time was now.

She reached up to tap on his window, but when she touched it with her finger it popped open. This startled Liz for a second. Was Max expecting her, was he there to greet her? He wasn't, no one had been waiting for her.

She took a deep breath and slowly looked inside. All her anxieties vanished as she finally saw him, he was sound alseep in his bed. She stared momentarily at him, he was laying on his back. Dressed in a tank shirt and she could see only the tip of his boxer shorts as the sheet on his bed covered the rest. One of his legs was slightly pulled out from underneath the sheet. One arm was layed straight out and his other one was tucked up behind his head. He looked very peaceful as he slept with a slight smile on his face. Liz wondered what he was thinking at that very moment.

Max was dreaming the same dream he dreamt just about every night. Liz and him were at a park, sitting and starring into each other's eyes. He had his arm around her waist and pulled her tightly toward him. He leaned over and touched her face, slowing bringing his lips to hers, kissing Liz Parker. Everthing in his dream was normal. There was no reason to fear his feelings or need to think about any danger for his was a normal teenage boy in his dreams. He was there in the park with the girl he wanted to share his future with. Liz, the girl of his dreams.

Liz crept inside the window trying to be as quiet as possible. In silence she stepped over to the side of his bed, watching him sleep. He seemed almost happy in his thoughts. She felt a tingle rush inside as she saw his chest rise and fall. Just being this close to Max was almost enough for her. No, she wanted more, she needed more. She couln't wait another minute. She needed to tell him what she had come to tell him. It was time to open her heart to Max Evans.

Part 2

Liz sat down on Max's bed. She was becoming unsure if she could find the strength within her to tell Max exactly what she needed to tell him.

As she sat down, Max turned slightly toward her. He now was on his side facing Liz.

Liz took a deep breath still watching Max, once again feeling her stomach turn with what felt like a million butterflies fluttering inside her. Then she heard him moan out only one word "Liz." His voice made all the butterflies float away like magic. It made Liz more determined then ever to make Max understand they were meant to be together.

She gently reached her hand to his face and let her heart guide her voice. "Max I know I shouldn't be at this time of night, but what I have to tell you just couldn't wait until morning. I needed to tell you it is OK. You don't have to worry anymore, whatever comes our way we will figure it out together. You don't have to fear us anymore. I will always be here for you. I believe in my heart this is right."

Instinctly Max reached his hand to her face. Gently touching her cheek. He was still in his dream state, but knew she was there and he needed to touch her. Needed to let her know he heard and understood her words, if only in his dreams. Liz longed for his touch, she hadn't even noticed Max had not opened his eyes. "Max" was all she could let her voice say.

Max brought his head up toward Liz. He leaned carefully in to her bringing his lips to hers. Gently caressing their lips together. His passion for her in this dream felt so real. He could hardly controll his urges that began to swell inside of him. The gentleness of his lips deepened until his passion for her was growing uncontrollable with the taste of Liz's lips on his own.

Liz moaned in excitement of his reaction to her words. She still expected him to be more on guard, more in control,but when he started kissing her more and more deeply she herself lost all control. Never in her life had she felt so much passion for anyone. She never wanted this moment to end. Her whole body envoloped in his kisses.

Max reached around her waist and pulled her tightly toward him. He then suddenly twisted their bodies to pull her underneath him. Liz found herself lying on Max's bed with Max on top of her. She could feel his passion for her growing as she felt his arousal stiffen on the inside of her leg.

He was still kissing her deeply and passionately. All Liz could do was melt in his arms. She pulled her arms lightly up his back to his shoulders. Wanting more and more of his touch, his lips, just wanting all of Max.

Their bodies began to move with the same passion they had with their kisses. Max's arms softly started to caress up and down Liz's back. He moved his lips from hers down to her neck. He needed to touch her, to kiss her, just wanting all of Liz.

They both knew their passion was intensifing more then they should have let it. But, neither wanted this moment to end, neither could have stopped their passion. It was to intense, it felt too right to stop what was happening to them. Then it happened...

The flash they both felt was full of electricity. As they were still embraced, kissing each other with all the intensity of their beings. Max saw inside Liz's soul, he saw her from the beginning of her life. All of her feelings were now his and this made his passion for her more greater then before if that was possible. At the same moment Liz saw inside Max's soul, she could hardly breath, but she found this experience to be so explosive she couldn't stop it. She wasn't only seeing into Max's soul, but she could feel all of his feelings, fears, and she saw back in time, from the beginning of his existence.

The loud thump from across the room was what brought both Max and Liz out of their passinate embrace. Max jerked around to the figure starting to pull itself off the floor. His senses still not together, then he felt her in his arms. The small lamp on his desk flipped on bringing light upon Max's room.

Part 3

Michael just stared at his best friend laying in his bed, with Liz. He felt alittle embrassed at first and then confused to what he had walked in on.

"Max, Liz,..um.. I'm sorry... I didn't know you were here" motioning toward Liz. He had no idea what Max was doing with Liz, here in Max's house, in Max's bed of all places.

Liz was still trying to compose herself from what had just happened between her and Max. She hadn't noticed Max's face yet. Max was is shock from what he now understood wasn't his dream, but what had happened between him and Liz was real.

The wave of embrassment hit him like a brick when he realized he let his passion take him where he knew it shouldn't have gone and then to top it off Michael had walked in on them, or more like dropped in on them.

When Liz finally looked up at Max all she saw was shock and disbelief in his face. She didn't understand why he was looking at her with a bewilderment look upon his face. Then she heard the words that frightned her more than life. "Liz you're really here... Oh Liz I am so sorry," he was saying.

Max's words started to sink in and the realization hit her hard. It was all a dream to him, he had no known knowledge that the bond that passed between them really happened until Michael had turned on the light. Now she understood why Max's guard was down, why he let himself lose control like that in their passion.

She suddenly felt awkward about where she was and what had just occurred. Not to mentioned the embaressment she felt having Michael looking at them in a very compromising position.

"I better get home," was all she could get out as she swung herself around Max and started to get up.

"Liz, I...let me take you home. It's late"

"No Max, it's okay you don't have to protect me, I'll be fine" She needed to get away quickly and she was too embarassed for Max to walk her home. Even though every ounce of her being wanted him too. She turned to Michael and just gave him a simple gesture with her eyes to say good-bye. He nodded back at her. Then she turned to Max to say something, but no words were spoken.

They looked into each other's eyes and knew that nothing needed to be said at least not now. Liz walked over to the window and started to climb out into the darkness of the night.

Max came up behind her feeling he should take her home. He wanted to pleaed with her to let him. He gently grabbed her shoulders. When he touched her he could feel Liz's embaressment of him thinking what had happened between them was only a dream to him. He knew he needed to let her go for now anyway. he would find her first thing tommorrow and they would need to talk, but for now as she turned to look at him, he looked deeply into her eyes and said "Tommorrow."

Liz moved slowly from his grasp and reached for the window. Max helped her out into the night air. "Bye Max" was all she said and with that she went into the night air. She didn't turn around to look at him. She needed to get home, she needed time to think about what she would say to Max when tommorrow comes.

"Bye Liz" Max said, mainly to himself.

Michael finally broke the silence of the night's air. "So what the heck happend here Maximillion? I thought you and the brunette were taking a step back. I mean you are lucky I had another fight with Hank and decided to come over or you might have done something I know you aren't ready for, not to mention Liz."

"Michael, I'm not really sure how it all started, I mean I was asleep and dreaming of being with Liz. The next thing I know you came in and Liz was really here. Michael something happened tonight when I was with Liz. I had a flash, no we had a flash together."

"What do you mean you had a flash together, Liz couldn't have had a flash she isn't one of us."

"I can't explain it myself, we connected together when things got pretty intense. I saw Liz from the beginning of her life. I mean it was kinda abstract, but... I just can't explain."

"Max, how do you know Liz had a flash too?"

"I can't be for sure, I just felt it at the sametime I had mine without actually seeing hers."

"Well if you saw the beginning of her life, maybe she saw the beginning to yours. You have to think what this could mean to all of us Max."

"It's late, let's get some sleep and we'll discuss it in the morning." Max turned out the light as Michael grabbed the bedroll in Max's room. His mind was racing with how the whole scene had unraveled. He was to filled with feelings to get any sleep. Emotions of Liz danced in his head. Once again he was in the park with Liz, holding her tightly.

Liz pulled her covers tightly around her needing their warmth. She was unsure of what had happened to her tonight. She was with Max, he was kissing her very intensely when she saw something. Just a few quick images at first and as their passion had intensefied so did the images. She could hear Maria's voice saying "when he touched you he saw into your soul, you don't know what will happen when you kiss a chekizavokian." She wanted to pick up the phone and call Maria immediately. Then she thought about what time it was and decided against it. "I'll have to call her first thing tommorrow."

She started thinking again about the images. At first the images made Liz feel uneasy. They were images of Max and they made her feel special, making her apart of Max's life. Which is all she really wanted anyway, so she wasn't frightened of the images. She was more confused by them then any thing. I'm sure he'll come by tommorrow to discuss what happened to us. This made her smile as she drifted off to sleep.

Part 4

Saturday morning at the Evan's home:

Max was awaken by a ringing noise. He barely had time to wipe his eyes when Isabelle came rushing into Max's room. "OK Max, I want to hear exactly what you did last night. Five people have already called me this morning telling me different things."

Isabelle was standing in the doorway of Max's bedroom with her hands on her hips, glaring at him. Max looked over and noticed the bed roll was already rolled up and put under his desk. Thank goodness Michael had already left, he thought. "Issy, can't a guy even go to the bathroom before you start interrogating him."

"Are you going to tell me what you were doing on the stage at the concert kissing Liz or not Maxwell. What were you thinking?"

"I'm not really sure how it all happened, I mean it's still a little confusing to me."

"Well you have a funny way of taking a step back with a girl. Now what are you going to do about Liz? You can't keep playing with her emotions, it just isn't fair to her, you, us, heck everyone involved Max." Isabelle knew her brother had strong feelings for Liz and she knew Liz felt the same way for him. She liked Liz more then she wanted to let on, but still she didn't think this was right.

At the moment Isabelle mentioned Liz's name Max remembered what had happen last night in his bedroom. He didn't think he needed to mention that it is yet. But Isabelle was right about one thing he needed to talk to Liz today. He didn't know himself what he was going to say. "Is, I will talk to Liz today, just don't ask me what I'm going to say. I don't know myself, but I am going to do everything I can not to hurt her again. So can we just drop it for now, I have to get dressed if you don't mind."

Isabelle stepped out of the doorway and went on downstairs, still not satisfied with the amount of information Max had given her.

Saturday morning at the Parker's home:

Maria came bursting int Liz's bedroom, "Hey Maria." Liz stated as she was making up her bed.

"Hello, OKay I want full details and I want them now!"

"Maria, I don't even know where to begin."

"Just tell me everything from the beginning. The more details the better."

Liz started getting dress and telling her best friend as much detail that occurred fromt he night before. How Kyle had gotten Max drunk, how they broke into her room, how she tried to keep him safe until he sobered up, what Max had said to her about running off together, how he had told her she was his dream girl, about all the magic he did on the street and about the flash of memories he gave her when he kissed her at the concert. "Then I did something last night that I can't even believe I did." Liz then went into details how she had gone to see Max and how things were getting pretty intense between them on his bed when Michael had come in and interrupted them.

"It figures, that guy has no sense of timing," Maria commented.

"Maria, I saw something last night when Max and I were kissing. It was just like at the concert, but this wasn't of the two of us, it was of Max. I think I seen how he came to be."

"You saw what?"

"Well it was very confusing at first, then as we got..you know..more intense the visions got more and more real."

"Did you tell Max what you saw?"

"No since Michael's interruption, I didn't the chance."

"See timing, what did I tell you Michael has no sense of timing at all." In her heart she was wishing Michael would just be honest with his own feelings for her. Even if he was a wild haired jerk of an alien, he was her wild hair jerk alien. "So are you going to talk to Max today or what?"

"When I left his place last night he said he'd call me today."

Back at the Evan's home:

Max came downstairs hoping to avoid another confrontation with his sister. To his dismay she was sitting at the kitchen table talking to yet another friend on the phone whom had called to gossip more about last night.

"Max, my brother... You have got to be joking.... Kyle...." She looked up and noticed Max staring at her. "I gotta go, I'll talk to you later...Bye." Shaking her head "Max, Max, Max, Max, Max and I thought what Michael and I did last night was really strange."

"What do you mean, what you and Michael did...what exactly did you guys do?" Max was hoping to change the subject.

Isabelle told Max in detail about the scene at the library. "Okay now it's your turn, spill it Max and I want the truth.

Max slightly embarassed began to tell his sister about how Kyle and his friends had come over to the house drunk, how he had seen Liz kissing Doug, how Kyle has persuaded him to try a drink and then the next thing he knew he was on stageat the concert kissing Liz. A small smirk appeared on his face as he gave this last detail. He left out the part of Liz's visit to their home.

"Max you have to go talk to her and I mean now."

Liz was showing Maria the heart still on her wall when they heard the phone ring. They both shot each other a look. Liz ran to the phone and slowly answered it. "Hello."

"Hey Liz... it's Max.... we need to talk."

Part 5

At the Crashdown:

This day is taking forever, thought Liz. Her shift ended at 3 o'clock and Max said he would pick her up afterwards. Maria was trying to keep the mood light by joking about anything except the alien trio. She could tell Liz was nervous about seeing Max. At 2:30 Maria told Liz she would finish up since the lunch rush was over and the restaurant had slowed down quite a bit. Liz thanked her and went upstairs to get ready.

At 3 o'clock sharp Max pulled up in front of the Crashdown. He still had no idea what he was going to say to Liz. He knew he had to make her understand it was still too dangerous for them to be together, but he couldn't hurt her again. His thoughts drifted of the night before in his bedroom, of her lips touching his so sweetly. The feel of her body laying underneath his...

"Hey Max."

Max thoughts were interrupted by Liz standing at the passenger side of his jeep. "Hey Liz, you want to go for a drive?"

Liz nodded and climbed into the jeep. She had felt nervous all day until she saw Max sitting in his jeep. Her fears were gone almost instantly and she new what she was going to tell him. It was time.

They drove out of town toward the desert in silence. Both stealing glances at each other, but neither saying anything yet. Max pulled the jeep of the main highway and followed a dirt road for quite a few miles. He stopped next to a group of boulders that rested up by the bottom of a foothill. He got out of the jeep, walked around the back, grabbed a blanket from the back seat and then held his hand out for Liz. She took his hand and followed him behind the group of rocks. They spread the blanket out and both sat down. Max was the first to speak, "Liz...I..."

Liz immediately stopped him by placing her finger gently on his mouth. "Max before we start, please connect with me and see what transpired last night. I want you to remember everything you said, we did and what we felt before we say anything."

Max was taken back by her request. He wasn't expecting this at all, but then realized she was right. He needed to know exactly what happened before he could say anything else. He put his hands gently on each side of Liz's face and mad the connection. He felt her pain of sorrow seeing him standing outside the restaurant after Doug had kissed her. He saw her shock when she walked into her bedroom and found him and Kyle standing there. He understood how she had tried to protect him from himself while he was under the influence of the alcohol. He felt her heart fill with joy when he touched the red heart shaped pattern and lit it up. He felt her excitement when he asked her to run away with him. He was her worry when he started doing his magic on the street. He could feel how happy she was when he told her she was his dream girl and how concern she was that he wouldn't want her when he remembered they were different. Then he felt how deeply she loved him when he kissed her on the stage at the concert.

Max broke the connection and while still holding Liz's face all he could do was lean down and kiss her gently. He pulled back slightly resting his forehead on hers. "God.. Liz, we really need to talk," was all he could say.

"I know, I just needed you to see, to know, to feel, what was inside of me." It was her turn to say what needed to be said. "Max I know how you feel about me and I'm pretty sure you know how I feel about you. I understand why you thought we needed to take a step back. You and I are different."

"Liz this is just as hard on me." Max interrupted.

Liz took his hand in hers "Max, please let me finish. Yes we are different, but something has happened between us that we can't control. I mean you can't control your feelings no matter how hard you try... They will always be there. Yes there is a danger and yes someday may come when we will have to say good-bye. But, Max until that day comes it is just too hard for both of us to try and pretend what we feel for each other doesn't exist."

"Liz, there are so many things we still don't know about me, Isabelle or Michael. We can't just act normal and hope nothing happens. Or if we do try to be together and the day comes when we need to go, I don't know...if we follow our hearts... I'm not sure I could leave you."

"If and when that day comes we will follow our hearts and they will help guide us to make those decisions then."

"Liz I can't put you in danger. Not to mention Isabelle and Michael. They need me to be strong, to watch out for them and I can't do that when I'm with you. Please try to understand that."

"That's the one thing I do understand more then you know. But, Max when we are not together you're mind isn't any clearer, because I know you still want and need me too. I'm not saying we should start this relationship over blindly. We both know the stakes and instead of pushing away from each other, we need to pull together. We need to find a way to keep our feet grounded and let nature take it's course at the same time."

Max looked deeply into Liz's eyes. His heart was beating rapidly as he listened to her words. What she had said rang so true to his heart it almost scared him.

As if sensing his fear Liz reached up and touched Max's face. "Please don't fear us, we will be OK. We will just have to deal with whatever comes our way, but deal with it together. I mean after what happen to Michael I now know I'm ready for anything."

The sun was starting to set over the horizon. Max put his arm around Liz's waist and pulled her tightly into to him. He stil wasn't sure he was going to keep his feet grounded but he was sure of his feelings for Liz. He loved her from afar for so many years. Now he was in love with her, down to her soul. "I love you Liz Parker," he whispered ever so softly in her ear.

"I love you too, Max Evans," she whispered back.

Part 6

They watched the sunset in the distance then turned to each other. Max leaned over to caress his lips softly on hers. "You know this is going to be so hard, trying to keep what little control I have left around you." With that he began to kiss Liz with all his feelings losing control. He deepened his kiss and stretched his tongue inside her mouth exploring with it at first then he found hers. Liz let out a cooing sound that made Max feel himself getting aroused.

Liz reached her arms around Max's neck. Slowly running her fingers through her hair. She didn't even notice her body beginning to slide down until she was laying on her back with Max leaning over her. He was still kissing her passionately. His hands went down from Liz's neck along her side. He had no way to control his needs when it came to the girl he had in his arms. He slid one hand behind her to pull her tightly to him, pressing her body into his and at the same time his other hand moved up her shirt. As he gently cupped her breast with his hand he raised his head to look into Liz's eyes. He needed her to confirm what he was doing was okay.

Liz looked into Max's eyes when he raised his head. He was touching her breast and something took over inside of her, she needed more. With her hand that was around his neck she pulled his head back down to hers. She didn't want to stop, something inside her wouldn't let her stop. Now their kisses were intensifing. Max was still massaging her breast. Feeling her nipple harden, which in turn made his erection stiffen to the point he wasn't able to hide it from her any longer.

The flash came flooding into Liz's mind when she felt Max's hardness against her leg. "I saw her," Liz suddenly exclaimed.

"What, saw who?"

"Max I think, no I'm sure I just saw your mother!"

Max sat up instantly trying to regain his control. Trying to understand why Liz would get a flash of his mother. "Are you sure?"

"Max she was beautiful." Tears formed in Liz's eyes as she tried to describe what she saw. "She looked a lot like Isabelle, long blond hair. She had your eyes Max. I would recognise them anywhere. She was pregnant and rubbing her stomach. She was looking at her stomach and then she looked up. A tear was running down her face and then it seemed like she smiled at me. That's all I seen when..well as soon as you stopped touching me...she was gone. Oh my god, Max it was amazing!"

Now it was Max's turn to have a tear in his eye. He wasn't sure what to think at this point. "We need to get home and let Is and Michael know what you saw." As He was helping Liz up, "Liz, I'm sorry if I went...I mean..."

"Max the only thing I would regret about being with you, is if you regret us again. I don't think I could handle that again."

"I promise never to hurt you again Liz." With that they climbed into the jeep and headed back to Roswell.

Back at the Evan's home:

Michael and Isabelle were sitting there stunned while Max was trying to explain what had transpired with Liz(without going into detail about them personally). Isabelle was too shook up to say anything. Michael had too many questions to keep quiet. "So I still don't get how Liz had the flash? Did she tell you what she saw last night?"

"Last night, what about last night?" Isabelle chimed in.

Max threw Michael a look to kill. "Liz came over last night," he started to explain the events of what happened in his bedroom.

"Oh my god," was all Isabelle could say.

Max, I think you need to see Liz ASAP and see what else she can find out."

"Michael I'm not going to use Liz just to see if she has another vision. I won't use her like that." Max snapped back a little louder then necessary.

"But Max, she could be the key to find out so many questions." Michael yelled back.

"Quiet you guys, I don't want mom to hear every word we're saying. Max I think Michael may be right, to some degree though."

"Isabelle, you were the one who told me I had no right to play with Liz's emotions. I will not use her, do you both understand me."

They all got very quiet when they heard the front door bell. "Oh Hello Liz," Mrs. Evans said as she opened the door.

"Hello Mrs. Evans, it's nice to see you again. This is my friend Maria. Is Max and Isabelle home?"

"They're in Max's room. Max, Isabelle, you have guests."

All three of the aliens walked down the hallway to greet their friends. Mrs. Evan's went back to her study.

"So how are you doing?" Max asked Liz with concern.

"I'm fine Max, so did you tell them," Liz gestured to Michael and Isabelle.

"Yeah."

"Maria knows too."

"Okay okay we all know, now what do we do about it?"

Max threw another disapproving look in Michael's direction. "Michael" was all he said.

"Max it's OK, I understand Michael wants to know why this is happening to us...uh..well me. We all want to know what this means."

"Some of us are just a little more sensitive to the people around us then others are." Maria stated as she glared at Michael.

"Bite me," he snapped back.

"Okay you two, do we have to put you guys in separate corners." Isabelle joked.

"Look I might not be sensitive here, but is anyone else just as anxious as me to find out what else Liz can see?"

Now it was Liz's turn to speak up "I am".

Max turned quickly around to look directly into Liz's eyes. "Are you sure Liz, I don't want to hur.."

She stopped him in mid sentence. "Max I'm a big girl, I think I can handle a few kisses from my boyfriend. Maybe even a few more visions. So what do you say, you want to make out?" she laughed trying to make the room a little less tense.

They all laughed, even Michael. He admired Liz, how she was willing to help them in any way. God how he envied Max Evans. Then quickly Michael glanced over at Maria and just as quickly looked away wondering, what if.

Max took Liz's hand in his. "So you want to go fool around with me?"

Still giggling Liz nodded and they started to walk toward Max's bedroom. "No wait Max."

Max immediately stopped. Then noticed why she had stopped. Michael, Isabelle and even Maria were watching the two of them with eager eyes.

Maria was the first one to notice that they all weren't making this very easy on her bestfriend and Max. "Look why don't we go to the Crashdown and give these two some privacy."

"I'll tell mom were going out and you two can sneak back to Max's room. That way she won't bother you guys either." She walked into her mom's study and let her know they were all going out and would be home later.

Maria looked at Liz and said "Good luck, call me later."

Isabelle walked up to her brother and squeezed his arm.

Michael gave both Max and Liz a nod stating his approval.

With that the four friends were gone and Max and Liz were alone again. He took her hand and once again headed down the hallway.

Part 7

At the Crashdown Cafe:

Michael, Isabele and Maria sat in a booth trying not to discuss what was happening between Max and Liz when Alex walked in. "Hi everyone," Alex said. He immediately noticed the silence at the booth. "So what's up?"

"Hey Alex," both Maria and Isabelle said at the same time.

"We're kinda waiting for Max and Liz," stated Isabelle.

"So what was the deal with Max kissing Liz last night at the concert. I thought they had agreed just to be friends," Alex inquired.

Maria was the one who filled Alex into what had gone down last night and this afternoon. Then she explained what Max and Liz were trying to do as they spoke.

"And Liz is OK with Max using her like that?" Alex didn't mean for his question to sound so harsh and immediately threw Isabelle a look that said he was sorry.

"Max isn't using Liz, if anyone is using anyone then she is the one who," Isabelle was saying when Maria interrupted.

"Wait a minute, this is not Liz's quest, Max is..."

Now it was Michael's turn to interrupt, "Hey no one is using anyone. We all just want to know more and if Liz is somehow connected to Max in someway that allows us to get some answers, then so be it. In the meantime could you all be quiet." Michael had been thinking of Maria and asking her if she would like to try and see if she could see anything if he kissed her. But, he also knew she would never be willing to kiss him just for an experiment. And he couldn't let himself get involved like that again.

Alex was still trying to absorb everything that he hadbeen told. At last he spoke up, "Well if Liz could have a vision, then could anyone have one if they got too close... I mean, if they got together with any of you guys?"

All four friends suddenly got very quiet.

At the Evan's home:

Liz sat nervously on Max's bed, not sure if she could do what she had agreed to do. Max was leaning against his door with his hands shoved into his pockets, also very nervous, "Liz," he finally said.

"I know...this just seems too weird."

"Liz I know you said it was alright...I mean to see..Liz I don't want to hurt you and I don't want you to think I am willing to use you just to find out about my past. I'm not really sure if we should even try this or not. If something happened to you and you got hurt, I could never forgive myself."

Liz looked up at Max, still standing at the door. "I know this sounds strange Max, but I don't think this is going to hurt me."

"I know Michael and Isabelle both think we should try and see if you can see anything else."

"This is between me and you Max. I want to help all of you if I can find some answers to your past, but Max I need you to understand. I don't know how far I can go....I mean I'm not ready to have that kind of a relationship just yet. And I know somehow to find out the answers we are looking for we will have to go farther then... well further then we have."

Max sat next to her on his bed and took her hand into his. "Liz I would never expect you to do anything you are not ready to do and if we ever decide to do...uh..you know... we would never do it for this reason. If and when that day comes we will both be ready for it."

Liz looked lovingly into Max's eyes knowing what he said to her he meant. "Thank you, I really needed to hear those words from you. So are we going to neck of what?" She smiled as she asked the last question.

Max grabbed Liz and rolled her on the bed tickeling her playfully. She was now laughing loudly, telling him to stop or she would get even with him. He then reached his hands up and touched Liz's cheeks. Liz smiled up at him has she reached up and put her lips on his. He wrapped his arms completely around her, kissing her passionately once again. "I love you," he spoke softly without removing his lips from hers.

"Max," Liz hummed out as she felt his tongue slip inside her mouth. Both their hearts were on fire, beating rapidly. They were once again losing control in their passion for each other. Liz started to move her body in a rhythm that made Max groan as he felt himself stiffen harder with each movement of her body. He moved his hands down to her hips moving them with the same rythmn. She felt the hardness against her leg and it aroused her even more. She had a sudden urge to touch the hard area between his legs. When she reached down and touched his groin over his pants the flash came....

Max immediately could tell what had just happened and almost stopped moving. Liz kept messaging his erection. "Touch me Max, don't stop touching me" she said with passion in her voice.

The woman was smiling. Liz was sure she was smiling directly at her. She reached her hand out like she wanted Liz to follow her, to show her something.

Max was still kissing her, but wondering if he should stop this before it got too out of control.

Liz grabbed one of his hands away from her hips and moved it up her shirt and rested it on her breasts. Something was controlling Liz's actions, she had no control of herself.

Liz watched the woman in her mind as she was trying to show Liz pictures in her mind of a place. She couldn't make it out yet.

She was fully aware of what Max and her were doing and how it was the most exciting feeling of her life, but something was driving her almost as if telling her she needed more, more of Max's touch. She reached down and undid the button on his jeans, then she unzipped them. She wasn't sure what was driving her to be this forward with him. She had never done anything like this before, but she was no longer in control of her own body.

Max was caught off guard by Liz's forwardness. She was still driven by some force and found his other hand(leaving the one still messaging her breast)and pulled it down between her legs. Max knew at this moment, Liz was not in control of what was happening to her. He knew she would give herself to him. He could feel her love for him thoughout his body, but he could also tell she was unsure why she was doing what she was doing to him. He knew she wasn't ready to go where they were on the verge of going. He started to pull back away from her "Liz we can't....we're not ready for this."

The moment Max pulled away the connection was gone. The woman was gone. Liz still unsure why she had done what she had done, looked up at Max and said "Thank you". She knew she wouldn't have been strong enough to stop the force that was driving her. She loved him more then anything else, but she also knew she wasn't ready to go where they needed to go to make the vision clear enough for her to understand it.

Max was still trying to get his control completely back. He looked soulfully into Liz's eyes, "Liz, I'm sorry..I didn't mean for this to go this far..I mean I want to be with you more then you know, but we have to wait until it is right for both of us."

"Max I'm OK, I'm just not sure what came over me... I saw her again Max. She was showing me a place. I don't know where it was, but I know she was trying to show me more. Max what does this mean?"

"I'm not sure, I'm not even sure why you are having these visions instead of me."

"It just seems every time things start to get... you know..intense between us this happens. And when we stop, it stops."

Max hugged her tightly to him, which reminded him of how much he was still not in complete control judging by the feeling that ached for her coming from his pants. He stood up and said "I'll be right back and we can talk some more."

"Max where are you going."

"I think I better take a cold shower quick, before we talk or I don't think my mind or body can take sitting next to for that much longer." With that he stepped out of his room.

Liz laid back on Max's bed and giggled once again to herself. "I love you too Max Evans."

Part 8

Same night at the Crashdown:

Max and Liz had both agreed to tell their friends about the vision, but they would keep to themselves what they had done to achieve the vision. They walked into the Crashdown holding hands.

"Liz are you OK?" Maria asked as she ran up and hugged her best friend.

"I'm fine Maria."

Maria gave Max a - if you hurt my friend you'll have to deal with me look. Max looked down shyly. They both knew everyone was waiting for them to disclose if Liz was able to have another vision. Now that they arrived the scene was embarrassing for both of them. They went to the booth where Michael, Isabelle and Alex were sitting with anxious looks. Michael was the first one to inquire about any visions. "Well, how'd it go?"

Isabelle slid over and allowed Liz and Max to sit down in the booth. Liz started to explain about the woman she saw again and about the place that she was trying to show her, but how it was all very fuzzy and she really couldn't tell what it was exactly. "Liz how does the visions come.. I mean what makes them start," Isabelle inquired.

"Isabelle, you don't need details." Max stated.

Michael then had to put his two cents in, "Yes, Maxwell we do. I would like to know if any of us could try to connect with a human and get some information about our past." He turned is head in Maria's direction.

Maria noticed Michael's glance in her direction. "So now I guess you want to use and abuse me for information. Don't count on it spaceboy!"

"Hey I never even thought about you in that way," he lied.

"Michael, the how and the when the visions come to Liz are not really the point. The point is the vision itself. Someone, possible my mom is trying to show Liz something. Maybe she needs a human to contact us."

"Well, I'm differently a human." Liz was set back by the phrase Max had used.

"Liz, I didn't mean....

"It's okay Max, I understand"

"But Michael, we've kissed before and nothing like that has happened to me." Maria conversed. "So why would this happen to Liz and not me?"

They all looked to Max for the answer. Maria's questioned still hanging in the air. Michael: "That's a good point."

Isabelle: "Maybe our mom found a way to communicate to us and they are just now trying it out."

Liz: "I don't think that's it. I think it has to do with the connection Max made with me when he saved my life."

Michael: Or maybe it has to do with how far you have let your relationship go? I know this is a sensitive question (looking once again to Maria), but we need to know. Did you guys just kiss when the vision occurred?"

Liz blushed immediately. Max squeezed her hand tighter to let her know it was up to her to answer Michael's question. Liz: "Michael normally I would tell you, that what Max and I do in private is private, but I guess you have a right to know. No, Max and I weren't just kissing.

Max then started to tell them how the visions seem to take place when things started heating up between them. How when he would start to get excited is when the visions would come. The booth once again fell into silence.

Michael: "So when do you think you guys should try again?"

Max started to say something and Liz stopped him. Liz: "Look Michael if and when we decide to try it again, it will be up us. I think everyone at this table knows how this is a very personal decision for us and I mean it's our decision to make. This is not a group thing any more." Liz got up and headed toward the back room.

Max started to get up, but Maria stopped him "I'll go, I think you guys have done enough to her for one night."

Max: "Michael, I can't believe you said that to Liz. I told you from the start I was not going to use her and that still holds true. Do you understand me Michael?"

Michael realizing what Max and Liz were going to have to do to get the answers he wanted. He suddenly felt bad for what he had said. "I'm sorry Max I didn't mean to sound so heartless."

Isabelle and Alex had sat quietly up until this point. Then Alex spoke, "Max I have been friends with Liz most of my life and I know she isn't ready to take that kind step yet. I think you need to find another way."

Isabelle: I think Alex is right, it's like your trying to rush the course of nature. Yes, there is good reason to want to rush it, but at what cost are you willing to pay for those answers. After all we have waited this long, I can't see how alittle longer would be that big of a deal."

Max: Thanks, Is I'm glad you understand. Michael what about you?"

Michael: Max I don't want Liz hurt, you know that. I guess I could wait alittle longer.

Upstairs in Liz's bedroom:

Liz was sitting by her bedroom window looking up at the stars when Maria walked in. "Hey are you okay?"

"I'm fine Maria, I was just thinking."

"I can understand that, but listen soulful eyes or not no one has the right to ask this of you."

"Yes....He does, Maria"

"What do you mean, he does."

"Maria, he save my life and now I have the chance to help him find out about his. How do I have the right to say no?"

Maria hugged her bestfriend and knew she was going to have a very hard decision in front of her to make. "I'll be here for you no matter what you decide, OK."

"Thanks, that helps a little." Liz looked back up at the night sky full of stars and knew her decision was made for her already. It was beyond her control. The choice was not hers to make anymore, she would tell Max soon.

Part 9

Monday morning at school:

Alex walked down the hallway of their high school looking for Isabelle. Ever since the other night at the Crashdown Alex had been trying to come up with a solution. He knew Liz was still upset with everyone grilling her about where her and Max's relationship had gone and was she willing to go further just for information. He finally spotted her alone by her locker. "Hey Isabelle."

"Hi Alex, so what's up?"

"I've been doing a lot of thinking of ... well you know."

Isabelle's mind was also thinking. She had thought to ask Alex if he would mind trying to connect with her so she could find out more information. She knew he probably would be more willing to go further with her then Liz, since she knew how much he dreamed of her and after all he was a guy. But, still she felt the same way Liz did. She knew herself she wasn't ready for that kind of a relationship either. "So what are you thinking Alex?" She was a little nervous even asking him the question.

"Maria and I were discussing your guy's powers the other day and I was just wondering about this dreamwalking thing. How exactly does it work?"

Isabelle was taken back by Alex's knowledge of her ability to dreamwalk and thought if he only knew how often she had come into his dreams. "It's actually pretty easy." She then went into more details how the whole processed worked.

"Well, it is only a dream really though, right."

"Hey, I guess so, why?"

"Well, we all know Liz isn't quite ready for her and Max... uh... to do... uh you know. But, what if Max went into Liz's dream? I mean ... do you think the connection would still work?"

"Alex, your a genus! But, I'm not sure if my brother would be willing to try it. He doesn't really dreamwalk, he thinks it is an invasion of privacy, but hey we can ask him anyway. The worst he can so is no right."

They started to walk down the hallway together to find Max. "Hey Isabelle, have you ever entered into my dreams?"

"Let's talk later about that, right now we need to find Max and Liz, okay."

Lunchtime outside in the quad:

Neither Alex nor Isabelle had been able to talk to Max all morning. Isabelle seen Max sitting in their usual spot starting to eat lunch. "Hey Max."

"Oh hi" Max said with a sullen expression.

"I guess you and Liz haven't spoken since the other night?"

"When I saw her in biology today it was has if I wasn't even there. And when we accidentally touched hands reaching for the same glass beaker, she pulled away from me quick. Almost like she was afraid to touch me."

"Max, you know how much she feels for you, she just has a lot on her mind right now."

"I know your right, thanks Is. I guess I just needed someone else to tell me that."

"Listen, Alex came up with a brilliant idea that I think just might work." Isabelle began to explain the whole idea to her brother. Michael had walked up just in time to hear the plan himself.

"You know Maxwell, this plan just might work." Michael said.

"Listen you guys, I don't even know if Liz is talking to me let alone dreaming about me."

"Max, believe me she dreams about you all the time," Isabelle informed her brother.

"Is you know how I feel about you going into someone else's dreams. I can't believe you went into Liz's dreams." Max was obviously upset with his sister's confession and then suddenly needed to know more about Liz's dream. "So what exactly happened in her dreams."

"Oh now it's okay as long as I give you information." Isabelle half smiled at her brother. She knew he was just dying to know what she saw. "Look all I'll say is I don't think if you go to her in her dream and started to do something's, well let's just say she has already thought about it before."

Max was blushing hard when Maria, Alex and Liz walked up. "So who said what to Max to make him turn into a cherry?"

"Maria!" Liz said to her bestfriend for her last statement. Then she looked at Max and asked "Can I speak with you, in private?"

"Sure" Max got up and they walked off together.

"Max did Isabelle tell you about Alex's idea?"

"Yeah, but I didn't tell them I would. I'm not sure if it would work." He blushed again.

"I think we should try." Liz said in whisper almost so quiet Max wasn't sure if he heard her right.

"Liz are you sure you want to try what I think you want to try."

"Look I'm not saying we should.. you know, but I think we should at least try and see if we started something, would the visions still come to me if it was only in my dream. So what do you think, do you want to come into my dreams?"

Max was smiling sheepishly at Liz and finally said. "Well, since I'm always dreaming of you anyway, what's one more night."

Okay then it's a date, oh and Max I would appreciate if you wouldn't tell anyone yet. Let's just see if it will work first OK."

"It's between me and you Liz I promise." He took her hand in his and brought it up to his lips, kissing it gently.

"Max there is only thing I have to ask of you"

"Liz you know you can ask anything of me."

"Well, I have to count on you to be the one... I mean the one to have the strength to stop us. I seem to not be able to control myself when we are ... you know."

"Liz, don't worry, even if I have to take two or three ice cold showers, I won't let us go any further tonight then is really necessary, okay."

Liz started to giggle "Thank you, I know I can trust you with my body and soul."

They both went back over to where their friends were still eating lunch. Michael of course was the first one to ask, "So did you two decide to try it or not?"

"That's it, you have got to be the rudest person I have ever met, oh that's right your not a person." Maria said.

"Hey I'm just trying to..."

He was cut off by Max, "look Liz and I have discussed it and for right now we want to just wait for a while until we feel it is the right thing to do."

They all finished eating lunch, except for Liz she was lost in thought. She loved Max more then anything and his statement to everyone to keep her honor was just like Max. Until tonight she thought to herself.

Part 10

That night Liz's bedroom:

Liz sat nervously on her bed. She knew she had better get to sleep, but sleep was the last thing on her mind. The what if's kept her from sleeping, what if Max can't come into my dream, what if the connection doesn't work, what if Max loses control too. Her mind was racing so fast she had lost all track of time. The moment her phone rang it brought her back from her thoughts. "Hello"

"Liz, it's Max are you okay?"

"I guess I'm having a little trouble getting to sleep."

"I'm sorry, if you would rather wait I completely understand."

"No, I think we need to at least try to see if works, Max."

"Are you sure, you're OK with me coming into her dream tonight.... I don't want to push you."

"Max I guess I just needed to hear your voice. Could you just talk to me for a little while longer. I'm starting to feel sleepy, just talk to me Max."

"I'm here Liz for as long as you need me. I was thinking maybe this weekend we could take another drive to the desert. I always like the way the wind blows your hair when you are riding next to me in the jeep." Max continued to talk into the phone just as Liz had requested. Not really saying anything, but just trying to keep Liz's mind from thinking about the so called "what ifs."

Dreamland:

Liz was standing next to a bed. It wasn't her bedroom, but another bedroom somewhere Max didn't recognize. As Max surveyed the room he noticed a fire roaring in a fireplace that laid close to the bed itself. The room was filled with candles burning, but no electric lights were lit at all. It had all the essence of romance throughout the room. Soft music played on the high if system in the room. And then he noticed Liz, she was dressed in a red sleekly silk nightshirt. With a silk robe which didn't cover her much more. "I'm glad you were able to make it," was all she said to him as she reached her hand out for him.

Max knew himself this was going to be one great dream, but he stood off for a moment trying to make sure he kept his control enough to keep his promise to Liz. This was going to be harder for him then he originally thought. "Liz you are so beautiful," is what he heard his voice say.

Liz had dreamed this dream sequence many times before and in her dreams neither her nor Max were shy about their desires for one another. But, this dream was different. Max was different, he was more in control then in her other dreams. She reached for him, pulling him close to her. Max could feel his control slipping just being this close to her. Just looking at her made him feel aroused. Liz Parker wearing a pair of jeans and a T-shirt could get him aroused, but in this 'outfit' he was becoming totally lost in her. "Liz you know, you have me completely under your spell."

He reached her arms and they began to taste each others taste. Caressing each others bodies. Moving toward the bed. 'Oh god, I've lost my control' was what Max was thinking. Max swept Liz up into his arms and laid her on the bed, still kissing her passionately. He was on top of her, feeling her need for him to touch her. She felt his arousal against her once again. They kept exploring each other's bodies with their hands. Giving into their desires, their needs, their love.

Once they had fulfilled each other's fantasies. They laid in the dream world's bed holding each other. Watching the fire flickering in the fireplace content just be in each other's arms. Both knowing there was no need for words to be spoken. They had shared each others souls.

Next morning, Max laying in his bed:

As Max awoke he felt his heart beating faster then he had thought it could. 'How could I have betrayed Liz's trust like that,' he thought to himself. 'How am I ever going to face her knowing she was depending on me to be strong enough for both of us to stop our desires.' Max had tried to think why he was so out of control. Liz always drove him to the point of insanity when it came to his love for her, but last night something else seemed to be driving him to lose all his self control. He wanted to call Liz immediately and apologize, but he was so ashamed of himself.

"Max"

Max looked around and was shocked, he knew that voice "Liz?"

"Max can you come to my house, I need to see you. Please Max."

Max looked down and noticed the phone was still laying on his bed. They had both fallen asleep while talking on the phone. He immediately picked it up, "I'll be right there." He hung up the phone and quickly got dressed. He had gotten ready and drove to Liz's house so quickly by the time he arrived he couldn't even remember getting dressed. All he knew Liz needed him and after last night he would be there for her no matter how much she hated him.

Liz saw Max pull up and ran out of her house quickly to meet him. "Come on, you drive, I'll show you the way," Liz stated to a very confused Max.

They seemed to drive for a long distance out of Roswell toward the desert. Max still didn't understand what Liz was doing let alone what she was thinking. Finally he spoke up. "Liz, I'm so sorry about last night."

"Pull over, please"

Max did as requested. Once they were on the side of the road he looked over at Liz who was staring deep into his eyes. "Max promise me here and now you will never ever be sorry about last night, I'm not."

"I have I told you lately that I love you Liz Parker."

"Well, not today you haven't," she joked. "Now come on we need to get going, it's still pretty far away."

"What, where are we going anyway?"

Liz understood, Max had no idea she had had another flash during their time together it had come completely clear to her as they both felt their climax together. "Max I saw what I was meant to see. Let's keep driving, you'll understand everything once we get there."

Max once again pulled his jeep back onto the highway driving them into the desert. He now understood why he had no control of himself the night before. He had no control because something else had made him lose control. He now understood Liz also understood this and he was amazed how she handled the whole situation. He didn't think his love for her could grow anymore, he was wrong.

Part 11

Same day at Roswell High:

Isabelle searched the hallways of her school searching for Michael. She soon found Alex. "Alex have you seen Max or Michael?"

Alex immediately noticed the worried look on Isabelle's face, "no, I haven't seen them. Isabelle didn't you see Max this morning?"

"He was gone before I even got up. We need to find out where they are."

Michael walked around the corner as she finished her last statement. "Where who is?" he asked.

"I have been looking everywhere for you and Max, is he with you?"

"Didn't you ride to school with him this morning?"

"No, he wasn't in his room this morning. I thought he might be with you Michael."

Maria saw her friends huddled together across the hallway. When she went to pick up Liz her father had told Maria that she had gotten a ride from Max earlier. She noticed the worried look on Isabelle's face and decided she should find out what's up. Even if that meant she would have to be near Michael. The thought of having to deal with him made her feel mad, bitter, angry and excited all at once. "Hey Alex, Isabelle, Dogbreath."

"Hey, it's always such a delight to see a creature such has yourself first thing in morning." Michael stated with a large dosage of sarcasm.

Isabelle rolled her eyes at both Michael and Maria. "We don't have time for these stupid head games you two. Then she looked directly at Maria, "You haven't seen Max anywhere have you Maria?"

"Liz's dad told me Max picked her up early this morning, they said they had a school project to finish before school started."

"He's with Liz?" Michael asked not really needing her answer.

"Isabelle, don't worry I'm sure they are here somewhere," Alex stated as he put his hand on her shoulder to reassure Max's sister everything was going to be okay.

"But I didn't see Max's jeep in the parking lot out." Isabelle said with worry still in her voice.

Michael now very serious, "Do you think they might be.. trying to find out so more information."

"Michael it's 9o'clock in the morning. I don't think they would be off doing something like that first thing in the morning." Maria stated.

"Hey I'm just saying their not here so maybe they are somewhere else, doing something else besides a school project." Michael snapped back. He didn't want Maria to know that sometimes he thought of her in that way first thing in the morning.

Alex decided he better break the two of them apart before they started swinging. "Well, we all agree they are more then likely together and I'm sure they will let us all know if they come up with any more information" The bell rings for first period. "For now let's just go to class. Isabelle are you going to be all right?"

"Yeah, thanks Alex." She squeezed his arm slightly to show she really did appreciate him. With that they all agreed to meet for lunch in the quad. Each hoping that Max and Liz would show up by then and let them know what happened.

Driving down an old desert road:

Liz kept instructing Max exactly where to drive his jeep. Finally they drove up to a small hillside that was covered with rocks. There they saw a large bolder in the middle of the hillside. "Here, stop here."

As soon as Max stopped the jeep, he sensed something was there. He wasn't sure where exactly, but he knew it was important to him and it was close.

Liz jumped out of the jeep and went straight to the large rock that sat next to the hillside. "Max this is it!" she exclaimed excitedly. "We need to move this bolder out of the way."

Max went up to the bolder and started to touch it...The flash came instantly to him. He saw a rock similar to the rocks River Dog had given to them at the cave only it was a larger version. Max looked around cautiously to make sure he and Liz were alone. Then using his powers he moved the large bolder using only one hand.

"Showing off are we? Liz said laughing.

Max gave her a small smile and then notice a small cave hidden behind the bolder he had just moved. They both started to move slowly inside when Max stopped Liz. "I think you should wait out here. I want to make sure it's safe first."

Liz was a little set back and finally said "Max, we are in this thing together. Stop worry about me, I'm fine."

They walked inside and as they passed the barrier of the large bolder it suddenly moved back into it's original position trapping them both inside. "Max," Liz screamed.

Max immediately made light from the ground with one hand and took her hand with his other hand. They turned and surveyed the cave. Max saw three stones each sitting on their own pedestal. He immediately went to the first stone knowing that was the stone he had previously seen when he touched the bolder outside. As he touched the stone the cave lit up all around them. A woman appeared almost instantly to them. It was like watching a picture coming to life.

"Hello my son," she began. "My name is Aoria. Within this energy orb from our home planet of 'Draken' I have stored as much information about your home as it would hold." She explained how their home planet's natural resources had been exhausted and they were forced to seek a new planet that would sustain their life force. She continued to explain in which galaxy 'Draken' was located. How his father and mother were on ship that had decided to come to the planet 3rd from the sun in this galaxy. That it's resources and air quality was similar to 'Draken.' Then she waved her hand and showed pictures of his home planet to him. The scenery was very similar to earth, but the buildings looked like something from a future setting of a science fiction movie.

Max could feel a tear fall from his eyes. Liz amazed at how the pictures were all life like also had tears in her eyes. She reached her arm up Max to let him know what she was feeling.

When 'Aoria' finished showing them all the pictures the orb had to show them she again spoke. "If you have found this orb, this means you have found your human mate. You are by now aware of your connection to each other, my son you should have felt it from this human the first time you saw her. You will feel each others happiness and sadness. Trust each other completely for your lives will depend on each other for as long as you live. I have also left similar messages for both your sister and brother, but they will be unable to cross the bolder barrier without their human mate. I will always love you my son. Good-bye," and then she was gone.

The bolder immediately moved to allow them to step out. Max pulled Liz to him tightly, hugging her tightly he simply whispered "I always knew it was you."

The End
